PALM FOR STOCKLESS ANCHORS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 12, 1907.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Serial No. 383,407.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH HEUss, works superintendent, a subject of the Empire of Germany, residing at No. 2 3 Junguschstrasse, Mannheim, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Palms for Stockless Anchors, whereof the following is a specification.

I know that there already exist stockless anchors for ships the palms of which, having straight surfaces of application on both sides of said palms do not grasp quick enough and do not hold enough in the anchoring ground.

The object of my present invention is to construct a stockless anchor the palm of which quickly grasps hold in the anchoring ground by offering a multiple resistance to the same.

In the accompanying drawings in which I have illustrated several constructions of palms according to my invention like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the different views.

In said drawings Fi ure 1 illustrates a front view of the anchor. ig. 2 illustrates a side view of the same. Fig. 3 illustrates a crosssection on lines A-B of Fig. 1. Figs. 4-6 illustrate in a cross-section other forms of constructions of the anchor-palm.

The anchor-palm a provides in Figs. 13 four ribs or wings 1) serving as appllcation surfaces. The wings I) are curved and tapered in regard to their center line and its cross-section adopts as shown in Fig. 3 the shape of a hollow hand. The point of application 0 of the palm is divided in order to permit the same to quickly catch the anchoring ground.

The construction shown in Fig. 4 differs in so far from the one shown in Fig. 3 as the one side of the palm provides a straight wing d instead of the two curved wings.

Fig. 5 shows another cross-section of the anchor-palm the wings forming a biconcave application surface with the side faces of the palm.

A triangular formed palm is shown in Fig. 6. The edge e projects inwardly toward the shank of the anchor. The two other endsf form two ribs.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by a United States Letters Patent is z- A palm for stockless anchors comprising two curved inclined ribs projecting inwardly toward the shank of the anchor, and two curved inclined ribs projecting outwardly from said shank the ends of said ribs forming a divided point of application substantially as described.

FRIEDRICH HEUSS.
